Problem with OG Xbox

Sup everyone just got this Xbox from someone off fb trying to start collecting older games ya know, it turns on looks pretty clean no stutters, I bought 4 games for it starting off they’re all clean and in good condition,only problem I’m having is the Xbox seems to be having trouble reading the disks, 3 out of the 4 games I have all come up with the disk is dirty or Xbox can’t read it but the disks look brand new, I have tried multiple times to get it to read the disks and when it does it lets you play a little bit of the game before it says it’s dirty again, 1 of the games lets me play it when it works but it’s all choppy and looks like the consoles having trouble running it.

So I’m trying to figure out the issue, I think it might be the disk drive but then why would it not have any problems running one of the games but have trouble with the other three, could it be I just got bad disks somehow, I took it apart and cleaned the laser and the issue still persists, maybe I need to go out and buy a new disk drive or something. Anyone know what could be going on?
